A certain young society gentleman says
about the most appropriate name for some
decollette dresses is slow and behold, "and
be is about right.
Floral trimmings on fall gowns have re-
turned to favor. They are mingled Win
ribbons. The fashion of outlining the low
cut corsage with garlands Of flowers Is De-
coming general, and the other floral adorn-
ments of the dress must match that OF the
corsage.
The man who would wear diamond SHIRT
studs with dress suit might gain reputa-
ton for hardihood and daring, but he would
lose any repute he might have had as man
of good taste.
Here is q suggestion for a base ball figure
in the German. Three couple will dance,
and then the ladies will select three other
gentleman. The ladies will be bstters and
are to be provided with a small bat One
of the gentleman will pitch, another eaten
and the remainder act as helders, lgn'
gum ball to be used. If the fair batter
misses the third ball and 1T Is caught by
the catcher he dances with her. II she
should miss the third pitched ball
and the catcher fail to hold 1t, the
pitcher dances with her; or should she
knock it out into the field, the gentleman
out there who secures the ball would be
the lucky man, and so on until the three
ladies have been at the bat, and disposed
OF themselves. The figure could be made
very attractive and would 10 doubt be-
come popular.
Social matters have been quite lively the
past week ami several events OF interest
have occurred TO amuSe our bellies and
beaux, while the prospects for the future
are very bright.
On Thursday evening Mr.. and Mrs. Chas.

fair was given. The house was brilliantly
illuminated and certainly presented
beautiful appearance. The dressing OF the
ladies was superb, many new costumes
being noticed, aud the contrast with the
dark suits of the gentlemen was beautiful.
Prof. Joe Kramer and his orchestra made
the music, and of course that added to the
charm OF the affair. The latest prom
enade and dance music was played,
and very little of it was lost. At

most appetizing nature was served and
it received undivided attention for some
time, alter which ices and French coffee

adieus and departed for their homes.
